Tiara Thursday: Place Your Meghan Tiara Bets

It's been the most frequent post request of the past few months: Let's speculate on a wedding tiara for Meghan Markle! Or, if you don't think that she'll sport a tiara at the wedding itself, one for her future tiara needs. There's a poll awaiting your vote at the end...

Lots of people have asked me for my prediction, and my answer is that I don't really have one. I'm not really rooting for anything in particular; in this case - having seen soooooo much speculation already! - I'm perfectly content to wait and see what happens.

I have, however, compiled a few options and am more than happy to open up the speculation floor to you all. I picked six possibilities (and the question mark of a seventh) to lead us off and you can disagree and throw more into the mix in the comments. As always, click the tiara name for more information!

4. Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara: Some of you have ruled out anything for Meghan that's larger than what the Duchess of Cambridge wore. I'm not as fussed about that, so I can't resist throwing this one in. It's only rarely used by the Queen, making it one of the notable tiaras still looking for a regular wearer.

6. The Cambridge (Queen Mary's) Lover's Knot Tiara: A lot of people are hoping for the Spencer Tiara for a big Diana reference. That tiara is owned by the Spencer family. I personally don't see Meghan borrowing that on her wedding day, so I'm adding this option instead for those that want a big Diana reference. Obviously now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

(By the way, if you're wondering why the Cartier Halo Tiara isn't on this list, it's because it's on exhibition in Australia at the moment.)

Place your vote below! The poll will be open through Tuesday at noon Eastern, and then we'll see what your collective guess is (if you can't see the poll, you may need to click through from a reader or email, or try a different browser).
